0 rocks1985 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 wow, i just tried the p4 0.2 one =) It runs so much more better :) is it capable of smoothly displaying the Genie effect yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Jason Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Just think of the possiblities of this program once it matures more, you will never need to buy Apple hardware again to run their OS !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Detroit Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 1) genie effect runs real well, but not butter smooth yet :) (It runs only butter smooth when i used the itunes "zoom" mode) 2) connection to the net will be very later 3) When time passes, it hope to get to 1/10 of cpu speed. It wont be perfect but usable :) right now, its at probably 1/39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 JK1150 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 i say 5-6 months,and we got OSX running at 100% speed unless u are implying that we have an x86 version of MAC OSX, I don't think any emulator can emulate at 100% of your CPU, i mean, just look at Virtual PC, how long that's been out especially on x86 computers, yet still not even close.

0 phalanx126 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 KoL, i don't know if this will help, but when I was trying to install 10.2, it simply would not work unless i specified where the video.x files was located....i'm not sure why, but it worked after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Datalore Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I tested the lastest official release (0.1.2) in Longhorn build 4074, and it was really slow. The cmd windows showed up first, but the main screen didn't even show up for a minute. (It's usually instant on XP). After that, everything seemed to slow down exponentially. I couldn't get to the Mac OSX boot screen without turning it off from boredom. I'm not complaining, just reporting the results of my limited tests. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 amr_01 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 My clock is now moving at 15 seconds.The minutes r changing every 15 seconds!!!!!!!!! one of my friends, who loves macs, and has been using for longer then i know. said that they may have made the time a lot quicker on purpose. OS X's visual effect are time based, so on a fast computer the effects look good in normal time. But in order to make the effects look like right on a machine that is as slow as PearPC they sped the time up. Don't know if it's true or not, but it makes sense.

0 Acezo Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Quick heads up, for those having trouble fiddling with memory settings, try PearGUI. Makes a config file in an easy-to-use GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Acezo Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 (edited) Yup, PearPeeler's nice too...btw, program's in English ;) EDIT: Just a quick question, with the .2pre version of PearPC, I get artifacts ("left-behind" clips of moved windows and such). Is my refresh too low? I have it set to 15 and it was butter smooth under 1.1/1.2 :shifty: Edited May 23, 2004 by ViciousX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
